I read this book a while ago. I just have some questions about this book. What is the criteria of trusting this book for its containt of historical events. I am not trying to disregard Mr. Daimond S.J. B. Ranas work in this book but have some ......... I am raising this question cuz i met someone with whom i have a chat regarding this book. BTW she is the great granddaughter of the gentleman and it is his memoir Mr. D. S.J.B. has written in the book, according to her.. There is another book also written by Shri Khrishna Shrestha regarding Kot Mascarre who, himself (as claimed by him) is a family tree of one of the person who worked at palace at the current time it occured.
